The existing restaurant building was most recently the Hibachi Grill Buffet, and also is the former location of Casey O'Toole's. The developer would tear down that building and a residential structure on the 2.35-acre property to build the Wawa.
This project still has to be approved by county officials.
Wawa opened their first Passaic County store on Route 23 North in Wayne this past December. Another site is currently in the works on the southbound side of Route 23, a company representative said.
